We see the Sun rise <strong>and</strong> move across the sky every day. But the<br />
Sun does not really move; it only seems to move. Earth is spinning<br />
round <strong>and</strong> round, <strong>and</strong> we are moving around with the Earth. The<br />
Earth takes 24 hours to complete one full rotation.<br />

The Earth moves around the Sun. The Earth moves around the Sun<br />

orbit of the Sun. That means 365 days pass <strong>and</strong> we call that a year.<br />
